There are a lot of studies that prove diesel fumes ON school buses are dangerously high, especially to those who are on board for long periods.  I have driven a school bus.  I have been sick for weeks and last year it was the same.  A home health care provider delivered a nebulizer to my home recently and told me that I am the 6th school bus driver in our area he has delivered one to since January (an unusually high percentage).
I told my pulmonist today and he seemed upset (I thought he was upset at me, but he could have been upset about the fumes - I don't know)  He said I had to stop taking my advair and my singulair for two weeks and then schedule a methylcholine challenge.  I guess to prove that I DO have bronchial asthma, or to prove that I don't.  
I don't understand if I have it or don't, I still have a problem with the fumes and have made consistent statements of that to my bosses.  I am not a sue happy person.  I just want to be well.   I am afraid if I stay out of work long enough to get well they will fire me, or not renew my contract in may, so therefore I would be without health insurance through the summer (recouperating time).

Why do you need to wait until you're fired, are you too friggin' stupid to
quit.  Sheesh... it's a diesel bus, you knew that when you took the low IQ
job... you probably drive an automobile, take public transportation, and have a
lawn mower... but those are for your selfish benefit, it's okay when you
pollute other people's air.  You just don't want to work, and of course you are
an imbecile... you're a democrat.

And so you can count yourself among  the lucky people in here who have met
the resident troll. Why this idiot comes around is a total mystery. I hope
you get a real answer from someone not so "confined to their own workspace".
I could tell you that I have read about ozone, but that may not be your
problem - asthma has more than one cause.
